Tyler Daniel Cook

To Tyler:

I love you so much, and words cannot express how much everyone and I are going to miss you. I’m going to miss but also cherish all the fun things we use to do together. From all the golf we use to play (Especially the time you went with me that Christmas when it was pouring down rain.) All the backyard baseball we use to play with Nick and Collin. Playing paintball with you, those were some of the most fun times of my life and I will never forget the first time I took you and you immediately loved it, and it became one of your favorite things. To just driving around in my truck and just talking. I’m so glad I got to spend your last birthday with you and have one more time to go paintballing together. Even though it deeply saddens me that we will never do these things again or spend time together, I’m happy that you are in a better place and finally at peace. I wish I would have said it more when you were here but I love you very much and rest in peace Tyler.

Your loving cousin Brendan.

So much I want to say to you but my regret lies with not saying it to you when you were still here with all of us. I am truly sorry for not knowing and seeing what you were going through in your world. I love you so much. I am very blessed to be your Aunt you brought so much laughter to our family, you were a pure joy, and ok sometimes you could be a real royal pain in the ass. LOL! But no matter what we all loved you at the end of the day! My heart is lost and broken with you leaving us so soon but I have to believe God had bigger plans for you in heaven. I love you my dear beautiful nephew and my words cannot express how much I will miss you. I love you! I love you! I love you! PS: Play with my Sparky for me he now has a familiar face to run and play with.

Love, Aunt Vicki.

I remember your big smile that just lights up your eyes and everybody’s life. I loved when you came to California for your birthday and went to Knott’s Berry Farm. Your great sense of humor made everyone laugh. So proud when you got your driver’s license and your car. What a big boy, how you have grown to a special man. Will love you and miss you forever.

Love , Grandma Saxton.

Some of my fondest memories are our family trips to California. Your mom would make sure to point out Tyler St. She would point and say “Look we are on Tyler’s Street!” Every time I go back I will be sure to look for your street. You are loved and will always be missed.

Love, your cousin Brigett.

I love you! I always knew I could talk to you about anything. Your personality always made me laugh and smile. Thank you for all the good memories you shared with me. You always had my back and I could always count on you when someone messed with me. I love you and will always miss you!

Love, your cousin Jaime.

Aunt Momo loves you and always will. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to celebrate you last birthday with you. I will forever cherish that huge smile on your face as you walked into our house and we sang Happy Birthday to you. I will stand by my words that I told you when you left, “I am so proud of you”, and the love you continued to give others in the midst of life’s challenges. You had such a big heart, one we all should learn something from. I understood you Buddy and will miss you so very much. I loved your big teddy bears hugs and your need for peace within our family. You were so smart and insightful three years ago when you yelled five words at Christmas that I hope we can all live up to for you, “Can’t we all get along.” I love you and was honored to be your Aunt.

Love, Aunt Michelle.
